Today’s podcast overview/transcript:
Good
afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com “potcast”, looking at
cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and
experts.
Today
we are looking at announcements from Zenabis Global Inc. (TSXV: ZENA), Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSXV: OGI) (OTCQX: OGRMF), Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHA), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB) and Green Growth Brands, Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTCQB: GGBXF).
Zenabis
Global Inc. announced reaching a letter of intent with the
Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC). Quebec is a significant cannabis market
and is in close proximity to Zenabis' licensed 380,000 sq. ft. growing facility
in New Brunswick, and its upcoming 255,000 sq. ft. facility in Nova Scotia.
Zenabis
expects to begin supplying its premium cannabis products to Quebec in the
second quarter of 2019 upon completion of the Autorité des Marchés Publics
public process.
"This
letter of intent with the SQDC adds an important component to our national
supply platform, further expanding the market for our products," said
Andrew Grieve, Chief Executive Officer of Zenabis. "This relationship
represents an additional significant relationship with a provincial
counterparty."
Quebec
is the ninth Canadian jurisdiction in which Zenabis has a distribution
relationship. Zenabis also has distribution arrangements with government and
third-party retailers/distributors in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan,
Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the Yukon
Territory.
Organigram
Holdings Inc., the parent company of Organigram Inc., a leading licensed
producer of cannabis, also announced it has signed a letter of intent with the
Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC).
This
agreement solidifies the Company's position as a true national player in
Canada's legal adult use recreational cannabis marketplace. Organigram now has
distribution in place for all ten Canadian provinces.
Based
on currently available public information, this agreement makes Organigram one
of only three licensed producers ("LPs") in Canada along with Canopy
Growth Corporation and Aphria to have secured distribution agreements with
every province.
Aphria
Inc. today announced a worldwide license agreement with Manna
Molecular Science, LLC, producers of state-of-the-art cannabis transdermal
patches. Leveraging Manna's established formulations, equipment and processes,
Aphria will produce and sell patches containing cannabis oils for its
established suite of medical and adult-use brands.
"As
we continue to expand its use from product to ingredient, we are excited to
offer innovative new ways for consumers to interact with cannabis," said
Jakob Ripshtein, President of Aphria. "As a company at the forefront of
cannabis innovation, Manna Molecular Science will be an important strategic
partner for Aphria. Like us, they are committed to making safe, high-quality
cannabis products available to a wide array of global consumers."
Under
the agreement, Manna grants Aphria exclusive preferred vendor status for a
period of five years, and an exclusive license to produce, market, distribute,
promote and sell Manna patches containing cannabis oil as an active ingredient.
The
Manna cannabis transdermal patch has been developed by pharmaceutical
scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology using state-of-the-art
product design and research methods. It works for all cannabinoids and is
designed to work with high-quality, whole-plant cannabis extracts, which are
printed on each patch with pharmaceutical quality. Each patch is latex- and allergen-free
and delivers the dose automatically through the skin over the course of 12
hours.
Aurora
Cannabis Inc. today announced that it has agreed to terms to acquire a
51% ownership interest in Gaia Pharm Lda., a license applicant in Portugal, to
establish a local facility to produce medical cannabis and derivative products.
The company will be renamed "Aurora Portugal Lda". On February 21,
2019, Gaia Pharm Lda. received approval of its application to construct an EU
GMP compliant cannabis cultivation facility from INFARMED, a division of the
Portuguese Health Ministry, which is responsible for the evaluation,
authorization, regulation and control of human medicines as well as health
products for the protection of public health.
This
initiative is consistent with Aurora's strategy to achieve early mover
advantage in countries with nascent medical cannabis markets. Construction of
the new facility will be conducted in phases, with the first phase expected to
be completed in the third calendar quarter of 2020. Upon completion, the first
phase of the facility is expected to have a production capacity of
approximately 2,000 kg per annum, growing to 4,000 kg per annum upon completion
of the second phase.
Portugal,
with a population of more than 10 million, represents an attractive market. It
is part of the Eurozone, has a producer-friendly regulatory framework that
encourages the establishment of domestic production, and features favourable
labour costs. New Portuguese regulations enacted on January 15, 2019 permit the
distribution of prescribed medical cannabis to Portuguese patients in addition
to export to other European Union member countries where medical cannabis is
currently legal.
Green
Growth Brands, Inc. announced the appointment of Randy Whitaker as Chief
Operating Officer, a new position within GGB. Mr. Whitaker has over 27 years'
experience in real estate, finance, and store operations. Mr. Whitaker joins GGB from Belk, Inc. a
privately held department store with over 293 locations.
"Along
with much of the GGB leadership team, I worked with Randy for many years at
Victoria's Secret," said Peter Horvath, CEO of Green Growth Brands.
"He has a phenomenal track record and is a world-class operator. GGB continues to set itself apart from the
competition because of the talent and experience of our team. We are so pleased to welcome Randy to the
team, he will be a huge asset as we drive towards creating remarkable cannabis
and CBD experiences for consumers."
In
prior roles Mr. Whitaker has brought a results-oriented focus, agility in
fast-paced environments, and a talent for building high-performing teams. Mr.
Whitaker was most recently at Belk, Inc. as Executive Vice President, Chief
Stores Officer. During that time, he led the stores organization including
store operations, real estate, store design and construction, aviation, visual
merchandising, customer care, credit, and supply chain. Prior to Belk, Mr.
Whitaker spent over 15 years at Victoria Secret, in a variety of real estate
and stores operations positions, including Executive Vice President, Store
Operations. During his five years as EVP, Store Operations, Mr. Whitaker was
responsible for 1,100 stores that delivered USD$6B in annual revenue while
maintaining a USD$2B operating expense budget.
Effective immediately, Mr. Whitaker will
lead real estate, business development, store design and construction, stores,
shops, eCommerce, and field operations support.
